Cafe VIVA has catered two of our events, breakfast, lunch and snacks. They absolutely excelled at nailing the brief, providing high protein and healthy food for our team and making it easy to prep with limited facilities. The food itself is absoloutely divine. The team fave was a lemon chicken salad for lunch whilst my personal favourite was the overnight oats. Amazing experience from start to finish and the whole team cannot wait to get back to Bathurst for more food.

Didn’t have any food, but picked up some takeaway coffees and hot chocolates. Super friendly team, first rate coffee (both the beans from Black Market Coffee, and the preparation), and our children were fans of the hot chocolates. Definitely bookmarked for next trip through town!

Only thing better than the coffee was the service, was given free samples of different blends while we waited, Turkish delight syrup was great but so were the blends. Hard finding coffee shops this good anymore

If there was a template of what a cafe should be, then Cafe Viva would and should be that template! This place was too good! Quick, friendly service, exceptional tasting coffee and a starter coffee to boot! Quite possibly some of the best tasting coffee I have had. I would consider moving to Bathurst based on this cafe alone. I only hope they are still there on my next visit! Outstanding operation Cafe Viva……Keep doing what you do!!
